All Irish Writers Centre remote courses take place on Irish Standard Time (GMT+1)

This coach-led course gives writers the tools they’ll need to design and sustain a flourishing writing practice. Each week you’ll focus on a different aspect of your writing life, focusing on the key building blocks of any successful writing practice: knowing ourselves as writers, valuing the work, designing tailored writing schedules, building resilience, staying motivated, keeping accountable and finding the right supports. Participants will come away from this course knowing what success means to them, and how to go about achieving it.
